-MPD MULTI-LINK PPP DAEMON FOR FREEBSD
-
-Version 2.0b1
-Written by Archie Cobbs <archie@whistle.com>
-Based on IIJ-PPP by Toshiharu OHNO <tony-o@iij.ad.jp>
-
-* WHAT IS IT?
-
- A user-mode PPP daemon based on iij-ppp which supports multi-link PPP.
- It is a complete re-write of the original iij-ppp code.
-
-* HOW STABLE IS IT?
-
- Most of this code has been thoroughly tested. Some parts, such
- as compression, have not been tested very much at all. However,
- the core of the daemon is very solid.
-
-* HOW DO I BUILD AND INSTALL IT?
-
- cd src
- make depend all install
-
-* HOW DO I SET IT UP?
-
- Complete documentation is included in the "doc" subdirectory.
-
- You will need to create your own versions of the four required
- configuration files in /etc/ppp:
-
- mpd.conf - General configuration
- mpd.links - Description of available links
- mpd.script - Modem scripts
- mpd.secret - Login/password pairs
-
- If you're familiar with iij-ppp, the configuration method is
- similar: commands are read from a file.
-
- Check the "conf" subdirectory for configuration file examples.
-
- Then append the following lines to /etc/syslog.conf and create an
- empty /var/log/mpd.log file to get proper logging:
-
- !mpd
- *.* /var/log/mpd.log
-
- Add a corresponding line to /etc/newsyslog.conf as well to get
- proper log rotation.
-
- If you want to start it as a background daemon at boot time,
- add the appropriate line to /etc/rc.local, e.g.:
-
- echo -n " mpd" ; /usr/local/bin/mpd -b
-
-* WHAT'S THE COPYRIGHT STATUS?
-
- Berkeley style: see ``COPYRIGHT.iij'' and ``COPYRIGHT.whistle''.
-
-* WHERE CAN I GO FOR HELP?
-
- Email questions to the freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list.

+Mpd is a user-mode implementation of the PPP protocol for FreeBSD.
+It supports several of the numerous PPP sub-protocols and extensions,
+such as:
+
+ Multi-link PPP capability
+ PAP, CHAP, and MS-CHAP authentication
+ DES encryption
+
+Mpd also includes many additional features:
+
+ Dial-on-demand with idle timeout
+ Multiple active connections running simultaneously
+ Dynamic demand based link management (also known as ``rubber bandwidth'')
+ Powerful chat scripting language for asynchronous serial ports
+ Pre-tested chat scripts for automatic configuration of several
+ common modems and ISDN terminal adapters
+ Support for the Netgraph kernel networking system
+ Support for tunnelling PPP over TCP, and UDP
+ Clean device-type independent design
+ Comprehensive logging
